"What if your favorite superfood was actually a supervillain? Sally Norton masterfully pinpoints the changes in our food system and eating style that have turned a common naturallyoccurring toxin into a potential public health crisis for people who are trying their best to eat well." --Aaron Blaisdell, PhD, professor of behavioral neuroscience, UCLA Department of Psychology; cofounder and vice president of the Ancestral Health Society; and editor in chief of the Journal of Evolution and Health "I highly recommend this book to anyone who has been wrestling with poor health and not gotten the answers they need from the medical profession." --Neil Nathan, MD, author of Toxic: Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, and Chronic Environmental Illness, "Who knew that some so-called superfoods could be the opposite of healthy? The conventional advice to eat 'mostly plants' is seriously challenged by the reality that plants contain known toxins. Norton makes a compelling case that oxalates are the x-factor contributing to many mysterious health conditions." --Nina Teicholz, author of The Big Fat Surprise "What if your favorite superfood was actually a supervillain? Sally Norton masterfully pinpoints the changes in our food system and eating style that have turned a common natural occurring toxin into a potential public health crisis for people who are trying their best to eat well. Her simple and effective recommendations are grounded both in modern science and the principles of ancestral health." --Aaron Blaisdell, PhD, UCLA Professor of Behavioral Neuroscience "As a medical profession, we have only recently begun to realize how commonly we are seeing oxalate issues be a part of the presentation of a wide variety of chronic illnesses. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has been wrestling with poor health and not gotten the answers they need." --Neil Nathan, MD, author of Toxic "One conversation with Sally Norton transformed my health. Thankfully, she has shared her life's work about the dangers of oxalates in this book. Everyone needs to hear her message." --Dr. Bill Schindler, author of Eat Like a Human "Sally Norton does a super job of revealing the many ways oxalates can promote the health of plants and undermine the health of people. This book is a must-read for people who eat plant-based superfoods." --Fred Provenza, PhD, author of Nourishment "An invaluable book that tells the story of the deleterious health effects of oxalate in our food." --Miki Ben-Dor, PhD "This book has the power to change the course of your health, happiness, and longevity for the better." --James L. Oschman, PhD, author of Energy Medicine "Juicing, raw food, and vegan trends have come and gone over my 30 years in the integrative oncology world and is currently all the rage again. This trend has created an illusion of health, and yet, clinically, I have seen the opposite. Sally has done an excellent job confirming what I have been seeing clinically." --Dr. Nasha Winters, ND, FABNO "A revealing and riveting must-read." --Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, author of The Whole Soy Story and coauthor of Nourishing Broth "[I]nformative . . . The extensive charts showing the oxalate content of various foods make it easy to follow a low-oxalate diet. [A] straightforward resource for potentially curbing a host of symptoms." -- Publishers Weekly, "Who knew that some so-called superfoods could be the opposite of healthy? I'll never forget when my 21-year-old friend who drank daily spinach and almond-milk smoothies came down with a kidney stone. Sally Norton's well-researched book makes a truly important contribution in revealing just how much oxalates can damage the body. The conventional advice to eat "mostly plants" is seriously challenged by the reality that plants contain known toxins. Norton makes a compelling case that oxalates are the x-factor contributing to many mysterious health conditions." --Nina Teicholz, author of The Big Fat Surprise "What if your favorite superfood was actually a supervillain?
